Passage

Romans 6

• Doctrine

  Christian Identity in Christ

  Identity located in union with Christ, not caste, community (Hindu/Catholic), or accumulated karmic-spiritual status.

  ROM.6.1-11

• Doctrine

  Grace

  Unmerited favor directly contradicts a karma-merit worldview.

  ROM.6.1, ROM.6.14-15

• Glossary Term

  Grace

  Deliberately different from Hindi, which rejects कृपा as too weak and prefers अनुग्रह; in the Konkani/Marathi Bible tradition कृपा is the established, doctrinally load-bearing term for unmerited grace and carries no weaker connotation here.

  ROM.6.1, ROM.6.14-15

• Glossary Term

  Holy

  पवित्र = set apart for God, morally pure.

  ROM.6.19, ROM.6.22

• Glossary Term

  Holy Spirit

  CRITICAL: Never ब्रह्म (impersonal Absolute Reality of Vedantic philosophy) or परमात्मा alone (universal Self).

  ROM.6.19, ROM.6.22

• Glossary Term

  Resurrection

  CRITICAL: NEVER पुनर्जन्म (reincarnation within the rebirth cycle).

• Doctrine

  Resurrection of Christ

  CRITICAL: Bodily, once-for-all resurrection.

  ROM.6.4-5

• Doctrine

  Sanctification

  The Spirit's work of making believers holy, not ritual purification or ascetic self-discipline.

  ROM.6.19, ROM.6.22

• Glossary Term

  Sanctification

  The Spirit's ongoing work of making believers holy, distinct from ritual purification.

  ROM.6.19, ROM.6.22

  Separation unto God's Service
